Starling Marte, James McCann Expected Back Tuesday
3 years agoNew York Mets manager Buck Showalter expects outfielder Starling Marte (oblique) and catcher James McCann (back) to get back in a Grapefruit League game by Tuesday or earlier. Marte has been dealing with a sore left oblique since early in camp, but he started hitting off a tee earlier this week and played in a minor league game on Wednesday. McCann has been out for a week with back tightness. As long as both players don't have setbacks when they return to game action, they'll have a week to get ready for Opening Day. Marte, 33, is still plenty valuable in fantasy for his speed, but fantasy managers should expect some batting average regression in 2022. McCann was an All-Star a few years ago with the White Sox, but he's fallen off since and will be a backup catcher target in drafts.
